In Psalms 39 verse 13-14 it says “For you created my inmost being, you knit me together in my mothers womb , I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made” And God’s greatest gift for me is my Mother Margaret Doraisamy and this is her testimony.
On February 2009, Mom turned 47, the first news she receive on her birthday was, when her Doctor, confirm that she was diagnose of Breast Cancer. In a single moment everything changes. She was shocked and fearful thought crash down like a flood. Cancer hit my mom out of nowhere, she was young and healthy and she certainly hadn’t anticipated this, and it was to late to get prepared now.
As my parents broke the news to the family and friends, it shocked everyone with sadness. Tears roll down and the only thing that runs in the mind of my mother was her family and we her children. She cried as much as she wanted and when the doctor told her “look this is not the end of the world” and mom decided to put herself together, thinking of God and living for her family, she started to put a positive thinking and got back to work the next day.
She was so touch by her office staff who started to offer up prayer for her, in 3 different races. The Christian, the Muslims, and the Hindus, and this gave her the confident that the God she worship, will carry the cross for her. She started to look at the big ‘C’ which is Christ who will overcome the small ‘c’ which is cancer.On February 27 mom underwent a surgery on mastectomy, prayer and vigil was offer up for her and God took care of everything, he was her provider, her counselor, her healer and her doctor, and his love was overflowing towards her. The surgery turnout well as she was back to normal and on her feet the next day, both young and old and even the small children prayed for mom, and God heard them all and brought mom back home after five days.
After the surgery, a month pass by and mom had to see the Oncology for the outcome, with result of her scan, she was informed that the cancer cell has spread to both her lungs and she was at stage 4. But mom’s faith was strong and she knew that God will take care of it. After 2 weeks she had a bone scan done, and it confirms that not even one cell of cancer have spread to her bones, and we thank God for his healing touch.
One day the BEC visited mom and prayer over her, and the message, she receive from God was, go for another scan, with the arrangement from the doctor mom, when for her 2nd scan. She waited patiently for hours for her results. When the result was handed over, she was shocked and broke down in tears to know that both her lungs was clear and not even one trace of cancer cell is in her body. She didn’t know how to thank this wonderful God who have healed and brought miracle to mom. His words to her was “think of life and you will have life” he carry her all the way in his shoulder and mould her to a new clay for he is the potter who knows what was best for mom, and she will be his living testimony
Today 23rd May 2009 mom have finished 3 cycle of chemo with God guiding her and I know that she will overcome the next 3 cycles. The God of all grace who called you to his eternal glory in Christ after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.
Amen.
